From 24 August 2015 he is a coach for the physical training of all Moldavian football selections. From February 2016 to June 2017 he is a physical trainer at Milsami Orhei. Since June 2017 he has been a physical trainer at Politehnica Iași, the team for the first time in the 2017–2018 season qualifying in the play-off phase of the first league in Romania.[4][5]

Club career

He started his career at Zimbru Chișinău. In the winter of 2007, he was bought by SC Vaslui for about €200,000. In that season he played every single game, but he failed to impress. He scored his first goal for SC Vaslui, in a 3–0 victory against FC Timişoara.

International career

Soon after his transfer at SC Vaslui, he made his debut in the Moldova national team. He was a regular, until the last year, when, because he failed to play at Vaslui, he lost his place in the national team.
